Chapter 435

Tian Fen hurried out of the palace, rushed back to the prime minister's mansion, and called the chief secretary Zhang Tang over.

He disagreed with the request of the Empress Dowager to submit an immediate memorial, not because he wanted to buy time for Liu Jian, but because he had his own personal purpose.

Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen are in Jiangdu. If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely help Liu Jian conceal this matter in order to target Liang Xiao. When their report is delivered to the emperor, they confirm the fact that they colluded with Liu Jian, and then they will provide evidence, which is enough to overturn Yan Zhu and the others to the ground and step on one foot.

Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen were both close ministers of the emperor and were the powerful minions for the emperor to deprive the prime minister of power. The Prime Minister Tian Fu was so frustrated that it had a lot to do with them. Beating them down proves that the emperor was inappropriate in employing people, and the Prime Minister's Office still had a chance to regain power and dignity.

"Zhang Tang, leave this matter to you. If it is done well, I recommend you to enter the palace to replace Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen."

Zhang Tang understood and bowed to accept the order.

Liang Xiao rushed to Huainan, and Prince Liu Qian was ordered to greet him at the border.

Liang Xiao had met Liu Qian once before, but he never spoke. Liu Qian was the noble prince of Huainan, and Liang Xiao was an ordinary man. The two sides had no intersection at all, let alone had no common language.

This time, Liang Xiao had a different identity. He was not only the champion Hou with a fief of 3,800 households, but also Liu Qian's expectant sister-in-law. When they met, they had to say a few words. However, Liu Qian obviously did not welcome Liang Xiao very much. After saying a few welcome words that were not sincere, he closed his mouth firmly, looking empty, lonely and cold.

Zuo Wu, who accompanied Liu Qian, saw the awkward atmosphere, hurried forward to meet him. He bowed to Huan Yuan and said with a smile: "I have long admired the name of the Master Huan Jun, but I haven't seen him. Today I am lucky to have a visit to the dignity. It's really not easy."

Huan Yuan smiled and returned the greeting. "The Eight Duke of Huainan. The No. 1 in Zuo Wu. What kind of virtue is Huan Yuan? How dare you work for Zuo Jun."

"Hang Jun is too rewarded. Huainan Prince's Mansion is full of talents. How dare Zuo Wu be the first? It's just a colleague who gives face to him. When he heard that Huan Jun was coming, the shooting soldiers and swordsmen in my Huainan Kingdom were not very happy, and they were all waiting to appreciate Huan Jun's magic shooting skills. At that time, please don't hide your own personal information."

Huan Yuan was humble all the time. After hearing this, Liu Qian couldn't help but snorted. "The sound shooting technique is so amazing. Is it true? Who can tell it accurately? Huan Junyang ◆◆, after being respected for many years, can he still ejaculate again?"

Liang Xiao kept holding on. He didn't care about the prince of Huainan, but he couldn't help but give Liu Ling face. It was not a good thing to offend his brother-in-law before he asked for his marriage. However, Liu Qian was disrespectful to his master and he couldn't help it.

If Liu Qian doesn't give Huan Yuan face, he doesn't give him face. If he holds on, he will inevitably be despised by the people of Huainan, and this relative may be even less difficult to ask for.

"What's the difficulty of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trying to see sound shooting skills? My master has other important things. Leave this little thing about martial arts competition to me. Although I am not good at learning skills, I have never seen a decent opponent for several years, so I feel quite lonely. If there is such a master in Huainan, it would be worth the trip."

Liu Qian's face suddenly looked a little ugly. He just questioned whether Huan Yuan's sound shooting skills were as magical as the legendary ones. Liang Xiao directly challenged the masters of the entire Huainan Kingdom, and Zhang Kuang was even more than ten times better. However, he was uncomfortable, but he did not have the courage to fight. Huainan Kingdom might not be able to find a master who competed with Liang Xiao for archery skills, at least he could not find it.

Liu Qian glanced at Liang Xiao with a cold face.

When Zuo Wu saw it, he sighed secretly and had to smooth things over. With Huan Yuan and Liang Xiao rushed to Shouchun.

Along the way, Liu Qian's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

When he arrived in Shouchun, Zuo Wu arranged for Huan Yuan and Liang Xiao to check in at the inn. Liu Qian returned to the palace and entered the palace. He jumped out of the car and came to Liu An angrily. Liu An was discussing with Wu and others, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Liu Qian's appearance.

"What's wrong?"

"Liang Xiao bullies people too much, and I don't have my eyes in Huainan at all." Liu Qian was furious. "A mere marquis dared to be so arrogant. Should he come to propose marriage or provoke? I said at the beginning that I shouldn't let my sister stay in Chang'an, but now, it's really despised."

Liu An was puzzled. "Don't worry, what's going on?"

"Liang Xiao wants to challenge my Huainan Warriors, boasting that he is unparalleled in his archery skills and is unrivaled. My family is a married daughter, and he is not a dead soldier. What's the use of such a good archery technique?"

Liu An lowered his face and drank Liu Qian. Liu Qian was extremely angry and left with a walk.

Wu looked at Liu Qian's back and reminded: "The King, the Crown Prince also regards Liang Xiao as the raider back then, which is probably not suitable."

Liu An waved his hand. "In accordance with Mr. Wu's opinion, how should we view Liang Xiao? Although he is now rich and has just been awarded the Marquis' title. But news came from Chang'an that the emperor intends to suppress him. Is it a good or a bad thing to marry him in Huainan?"

Wu Que didn't dare to make a decision. He thought for a while. "I believe in the eyes of the Lord. Since she agreed to Liang Xiao come to propose marriage, she must be optimistic about Liang Xiao."

Liu An smiled bitterly: "If you talk about Ling'er's intelligence, then you naturally have nothing to say. But you have to distinguish what is it. In the face of the love of children, the hero is still short of breath, let alone a daughter's house? I believe in her other things, but I can't rest assured about Liang Xiao."

Wu Que said again: "King, even though that is the case, Liang Xiao has made a lot of efforts to Huainan. The emperor suppressed him, which was Huainan's opportunity to win him over. When the old master invited him to the palace, he refused. Now that he was suppressed by the court, he turned to proposing marriage. Isn't it true that Huainan is more attractive than the court?"

"It may be an opportunity or a danger." Liu An pondered for a moment. "The emperor attacked the Huns in the north and won a great victory. Liang Xiao was originally a meritorious person. The emperor suddenly suppressed him. Could it be that he was planning to be unfavorable to Huainan and was afraid that Liang Xiao would be in trouble, so he transferred him first? Will recruit Liang Xiao at this time give the court an excuse?"

Wu Que didn't say anything, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Liu An actually had such an idea, which was beyond his expectations. He did not believe that the emperor would use troops to Huainan. As for now, Huainan had no handle that could make the court use troops. Liu An thought so, probably because he had a ghost in his heart.

Having thoughts in your heart and not taking action in your hands, this kind of scholarly demeanor is not like a person who can do big things.

"Then... is the king ready to agree, or is he ready to agree?"

"I want to cold him for a few days before making a decision."

Liang Xiao lived in the inn. Huan Yuan wrote several letters to see the King of Huainan. The King of Huainan neither refused nor agreed, and he was not even exposed. The Crown Prince Liu Qian was gone, and the entire Prince of Huainan ignored Liang Xiao's arrival.

However, there were constant challenges outside the inn, claiming to compete with Liang Xiao in archery. In a few days, more than ten people put on the war letter.

Huan Yuan looked at the challenge book on the desk and reached out to scratch his eyebrows. "You can solve the trouble you caused."

"It's okay." Liang Xiao, who was practicing guidance in the courtyard, responded, and slowly closed the stance. Then he turned around and glanced at the challenge books. "Let's see how many people can have the courage to challenge."

Huan Yuan threw the cloth towel over. "You don't think there are enough?"

"Not enough." Liang Xiao wiped the slight sweat from his forehead and smiled: "The King of Huainan didn't see you because he wanted to compete with us for patience. If we were too anxious, we would be at a disadvantage, but we couldn't wait. If we didn't find anything to do, how could we enjoy it? Using attack instead of defense, using defense instead of attacking, and making both offense and defense make the opponent unable to understand our ideas, is the way to use troops."

Huan Yuan laughed. "You boy, you are not domineering and cunning."

"Who said I am not domineering enough?" Liang Xiao blinked mischievously. "Master, maybe I have crossed the realm of domineering and stepped into the realm of the king with one foot, at least among the kings."

"Boy is unruly!" Huan Yuan blamed lightly: "This is not Chang'an, be careful of his words and actions." Although he was blaming, his expression was not nervous at all, but showed a little relief.

"Master, how are your legs? I see you are walking much better."

"Well, after practicing double ejaculation on both sides, this useless leg felt again." Huan Yuan became excited. "I guess that in another year and a half, walking will be no problem."

"That's great. Master, you have to get better. I'm still waiting for you to help me train some more parts. Last time I went back to Jiangdu, I saw more than a dozen good seedlings, and I had asked Niu'er to say hello to them and give them a chance to come to Chang'an. At that time, you and Uncle Zhongli will help me train them well."

"Okay, I can't ask for it." Huan Yuan agreed immediately.

"Have Liang Xiao met the challenge?" Liu Qian pulled his bow and aimed at the arrow a hundred steps away.

Chen Shang shook his head. "Not yet."

"Are you scared?" Liu Qian let go of his hand, the bowstring vibrated, and the arrow flew out and shot to the left. Liu Qian frowned and then put on another arrow. "Sir Chen, why did I still fail to shoot with a stone bow?"

Chen Shang thought for a while. "Maybe I am not good at archery skills and have no guidance, which delayed the prince's archery skills. Otherwise..."

Liu Qian put down his bow and interrupted Chen Shang. "You are the most famous archer in Huainan. You have taught countless disciples. How could you not be good at archery skills?" He looked at Chen Shang, his eyes wandering. "I heard that Huan Yuan taught ten disciples, but Liang Xiao was the only one who actually got his true teaching?"

Chen Shang's face was a little embarrassed. Liu Qian's words seemed to say about Huan Yuan and Liang Xiao, but in fact they imply that he had hidden his own personalities and did not teach him the real skills. He thought about it and forced himself to suppress the unhappiness in his heart. Yun Danfeng said lightly: "I think that maybe it is because Liang Xiao was born in poverty and had no other way out except shooting art, so he can do his best, persevere, and understand the exquisiteness of archery."

Liu Qian's anger surged and his face changed. "Sir Chen, why not do this? Call your favorite disciples to the palace. I will discuss with them, and then find a few of them to compete with Liang Xiao. How about it?"

Chen Shang was amused and crying-
